Kevan replied calmly. âYes, Iâm on a business trip.â
âThis late?â Larissa checked the clock on her phone again, It was indeed 1 am in Caldor.
People of Kevanâs status didnât need to consider costs on their business trips. It was impossible for Kevan to take a red-eye light to save money. Moreover, he was sitting in a regular waiting area at the departure hall, not in a VIP lounge that befitted his status.
All these details seemed strange.
âThe weather over there is bad, so planes are unable to take off.â Kevan smiled helplessly and changed the subject. âDo you need something from me?â
âNot me. Aster.â Larissa pointed the camera at Aster.
Seeing Kevan, Aster finally stopped crying. He wiped his face with the back of his hand and sniffled hard.
Kevanâs expression changed immediately. âWhatâs wrong? Who hurt you?â he asked anxiously.
Shaking his head, Aster tried to catch his breath and stammered, âNo No one hurt me.â
He was a pitiable sight. His eyes and nose were completely red
With a serious look on his face. Kevan asked gently. âThen, why are you crying?â
âFreddy said I donât have a dad!â Facing Kevan, Aster finally blurted out his grievances
Hearing his words, everyoneâs expression darkened. A hint of anger appeared in Kevanâs eyes as he pressed his lips into a thin line.
Before Kevan could say anything. Wendy, who was standing silently beside Larissa, exploded in fury.
âFreddy? Is he your superiorâs son? Tell me his address, I will go and teach him a lesson right now!â
Larissa didnât speak but she gave Wendy a meaningful look, gesturing for her to stay out of trouble.
However, Wendy misunderstood her intention. âYouâve already quit your job, are you still afraid that he will give you a hard time? That child is obviously bullying Aster. How could you stay so calm?â
Wendyâs quick temper often put Larissa in a tight spot. The scene right now was a good example.
âAster, have a good talk with Daddy. Mommy and Godma will go out and have a mealâ Larissa said.
She grabbed Wendyâs arm and dragged her into the living room.
After closing Asterâs door, Larissa said to Wendy in a low tone, âFreddy didnât mean it. Allen has already asked him to apologize to me and Aster. Weâve already dealt with the situation, but Asterâs still riled up. I know youâre angry, but you shouldnât mention those things in front
of Kewan,â
Wendyâs fiery temper manifested in words. She bombarded people with insults so that they were unable to retaliate.
Kevan was the opposite. When he was angered, he wouldnât express his emotions through words.
Anyone who provoked him would meet with a miserable end, like the employee who worked at the hospital morgue.
Although Larissa blamed Allen and Freddy for Asterâs outburst, she didnât want Kevan to take any drastic actions against them. It would be
too severe.
âWhy canât I say it in front of Mr. Rogers? Even if he decides to deal with them, they deserve it! That little brat should be taught a lesson for not controlling his tongue! Wendy felt indignant.
âAlright, stop calling him a little brat all the time, or Aster might start picking up on that term!â Larissaâs brows furrowed. âAster will feel better after taking to Kevan, donât worry about him.â
Glaring at her, Wendy said, âIâm not as nonchalant as you!
